Paper catalogue

The WCC Library first started to computerize its catalogue in 1986. All titles processed before that date were referenced on paper cards; the Library's paper catalogue contains ca. 35,000 records.

Though the historical collection on Ecumenism has been entirely integrated in the electronic catalogue, this is not the case for all other collections. Therefore, it is highly recommended to check the paper catalogue, located in WCC Archives (see the author/title index), in case one may not find a reference in the electronic catalogue. The paper catalogue is still awaiting proper funding so that it may be fully computerized and integrated in RERO online catalogue in order to be more visible and accessible for the wider public via the internet.
